The processing and shipping time for my order was ridiculously fast! I didn't expect to receive it so quickly as I had ordered only two days before Thanksgiving. But wouldn't you know it was here by that Friday! I also wanted to say thank you for the free gift that you included, it was a nice touch. You have the best customer service hands down, and your site is always my go to site for all my supplies!

I ordered three worry stones for my kids as gifts (almost 14, almost 13 & 10yrs). They arrived very quickly and are absolutely beautiful. It's been several years since I ordered from here and only stopped due to financial issues. I'll most definitely be coming back again soon. Blessed Be.

Dearest folks at 13 Moons,
Thank you for the lovely package I ordered from you guys. It arrived SO fast the other week i was sure it was some kind of express broom service.
The tokens you left me in the package were also so kind, thank you. I can't express how much we appreciate your exceptionally well-appointed store. You have everything that's sometimes hard to find, fresh, and here in NYC some of this stuff is so outrageously.
Now my circle and I are looking forward to getting to work—as you can probably tell, we have big plans and tasks ahead. But ever since your boxes arrived my apartment immediately filled up with life and and dynamic vibes. The things, living, that have manifested since have unexpected and even surreal.
I can't thank you enough for the good energy you've brought—Your blessings bring warmth to my house. You'll be hearing from me again soon, I'm certain. Until then may your hearths, bodies and souls be warm, healthy, and full of light.

Ordered both the Moon Goddess votive statue and the Forest God votive. Received my order in less than 2 weeks. Both statues were way more detailed than I imagined and both had been packaged so well it would have been almost impossible to damage them in transit. 13 Moons will be getting a lot of my business.

The association between witches and brooms goes back to ancient times. The pagan community would come together for ceremonies to ensure healthy crops. During the ritual they would mount pitchforks, poles, and brooms; and ride them like horses into the fields, leaping high into the air and dancing. During medieval times brooms were a symbol of female domesticity. Since most witches were female, the broom became intrinsically linked with Witches. In modern times, brooms are reminders of the power and unlimited possibilities of the Wiccan path.

Please Note: If you would like a broom for Halloween/Samhain or a Yule gift, plan ahead - the Autumn months and Yule season are our busiest time for brooms and besoms.

Shipping Costs are included for U.S. shipments. International Orders Please Note: There will be additional shipping costs; we will contact you with details.

About your Broom:

The broom sticks are harvested, sustainably, in Oregon with a local restoration program. The sticks then go into a kiln for drying. A band saw is used in a very unusual, creative way to shapes and sculpt your broom stick... many times you will see a wood spirit peering.

The best 100% broomcorn called "hurl" is used in creating each broom. The broomcorn is hand-dyed with non toxic dyes which are stable and when used under normal circumstances will not bleed.

A broom winder, from an original machine in the 1800's is used to apply the broomcorn to the stick. Then a post Civil War era boom vice is used to flatten and sew the broomcorn. From the vice, the brooms go to the "Kick Winder" where platting the broom stalks is done. Once the broom is finished, it goes to the "cropper", another 1800's tool, to be trimmed to the desired shape, whether rounded, straight or angled.

Each is hand-made and will vary slightly in size, color and weight.
